Experience a flavorful journey into the world of dumplings in this immersive hands-on cooking class experience. Guided by an expert Chef Instructor, formerly the Sous Chef of Girin Korean Steakhouse, you'll delve into the art of crafting Korean-style Mandu dumplings, learning the intricate technique of making dough from scratch and filling your creations using store-bought wrappers.

Two enticing fillings await your culinary exploration: a vegetarian option and a delectable combination of ground beef and tofu. Immerse yourself in the tradition as you practice shaping the dumplings into two distinct Korean Mandu styles—pleated and half-moon. Under the guidance of your Chef Instructor, master the steaming process to cook the dumplings to perfection. The culinary adventure doesn't end there; you'll also create a simple Mandu sauce and a refreshing salad (pa muchim) to complement your handmade dumplings.
